With about 180,000 in the pot and the board showing 4♠J♠2♠10♥, [Removed:564] checked to Adria Calonge, who bet 90,000. [Removed:565] thought it over before shoving all in. Calonge asked for a count, and when the dealer confirmed 240,000, he took a moment before calling.

[Removed:564]: 10♠8♠ All in
Adria Calonge: K♥J♥

[Removed:565] had flopped a flush, while Calonge held only top pair. The 9♣ river sealed it, giving [Removed:565] a big double-up.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With 85,000 in the pot and the board showing 2♥K♦K♣, Longmao Fan in the big blind checked to Gerard Rubiralta, who bet 15,000. Fan called.

The 2♣ turn saw the same action: Fan checked, Rubiralta bet 75,000, and Fan called again.

On the Q♥ river, Fan checked once more. Rubiralta hesitated, then checked back. Fan revealed K♠4♦ for a full house, and Rubiralta nodded before folding.

Three-way on a flop of K♦2♥10♠, Longmao Fan in the hijack bet 30,000 and was called by Juan Pardo on the button. Gerard Rubiralta was in the big blind and check-raised to 85,000. Fan folded, and Pardo made the call.

Rubiralta bet 125,000 on the J♥ turn. Pardo called once again before Rubiralta checked the A♣ river.

Pardo looked at Rubiralta's 240,000-chip stack and bet 200,000. Clearly in an uncomfortable situation, Rubiralta kept moving on his chair and seemed to have no choice but to fold.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Gerard Rubiralta jammed for 230,000 from the button and was called by Longmao Fan from the big blind.

Gerard Rubiralta: 4♥4♦ All in
Longmao Fan: A♠9♦

Fan made trips on the 9♠9♣8♦ flop to leave Rubiralta drawing thin. The 3♥ turn was of no help to the short stack, and Fan filled up on the A♦ river to down the Spaniard in 26th place.

Moments later, on another table, Adria Calonge opened to 30,000 from under the gun. Toni Kaukua called from the next seat over before [Removed:564] jammed for 180,000 from the cutoff. Calonge called, and Kaukua folded.

[Removed:564]: A♠J♥ All in
Adria Calonge: A♣K♥

[Removed:565] failed to connect on the 10♣10♥8♣2♦5♠ runout and bowed out in 25th place.
